Avulux precisely filters up to 97% of the most painful, clinically identified wavelengths of light while selectively allowing in over 70% of soothing green light.
The Avulux filter can effectively bring relief to those living with migraine or patients with photophobia attributed to other causes like: TBI, iritis, dry eye, and corneal abrasion among other causes.
WHAT IS MIGRAINE?
It is a genetic neurological disorder affecting over 3 million Canadians. There is no cure for migraine, only methods to manage symptoms and triggers.
Common Symptoms include:
• Photophobia (#1 most bothersome)
• Debilitating headaches
• Nausea and vomiting
• Sound and smell sensitivity
• Brain fog and dizziness
LIGHT & PAIN
Many ECPs have heard of FL-41 – a generic tint formulation that has been used by lens manufacturers since the early 1990s – developed for patients with an aversion to the flickering of fluorescent lights used in that era.
​
While FL-41 might have been commonly used in the past, Avulux represents an evolution in precision light filtering technology that offers superior and consistent light filtration for patients living with migraine and light sensitivity. But, is Avulux really a better alternative to FL-41? Yes, and we’ve answered some commonly asked questions to help clarify matters. Click here to learn more.
Research in the past decade linked melanopsin to pain in people with migraine and/or photophobia. Melanopsin is secreted by retinal ganglion cells when peak activated by wavelengths of light in the upper blue and amber range.
A corroborating Harvard study found that light increases migraine headache pain, except for green light.
